Bathurst Manor's 1950s and 1960s bungalow stock is one of North York's most active renovation markets — and Kopman Build has been delivering second-storey additions, full gut-renovations, and bungalow transformations here for over 25 years. We know these homes, their structural quirks, and the high expectations of this established community.
Bathurst Manor sits along the Bathurst and Wilson corridor — a tightly held neighbourhood with deep community roots, multigenerational ownership, and a housing stock that demands real expertise. These postwar bungalows are deceptively complex: knob-and-tube wiring, undersized panels, shallow footings, and cast-iron plumbing that all need to be addressed before a project can move forward cleanly.
Kopman Build has delivered renovations across North York since 1999, including dozens of second-storey additions on bungalows just like the ones on these streets. Dustin Kopman founded the company after growing up in his family's construction firm, G&G Enterprise — which means every project here is run by someone who actually understands the work, not just the schedule.
Full second-floor additions on Bathurst Manor bungalows — structural assessment, permit management, and seamless integration with the existing footprint.

Full kitchen remodels from layout reconfiguration to custom cabinetry, countertops, and appliance packages suited to the home's new scope.
Legal secondary suites, in-law apartments, family rooms, and home offices finished to Ontario Building Code — ideal for Bathurst Manor's multi-generational households.

Knob-and-tube remediation, panel upgrades, cast-iron stack replacement, and HVAC modernization coordinated within the renovation scope.

A full second-storey addition on a typical 1950s–1960s Bathurst Manor bungalow generally ranges from $350,000 to $600,000+, depending on the footprint, structural requirements, and finish level. The existing foundation and roof framing must be assessed before pricing — Kopman Build provides a detailed pre-construction estimate that covers all structural and mechanical work.
Yes. Second-storey additions in Bathurst Manor fall under the City of Toronto's building permit requirements, and depending on the scope, may also require a zoning review or Committee of Adjustment approval if the addition exceeds applicable setback or coverage limits. Kopman Build manages all permit applications, structural engineering, and inspections from start to sign-off.
A whole-home renovation of a Bathurst Manor bungalow typically takes 6–9 months depending on scope. A second-storey addition combined with a main-floor renovation can run 9–14 months, including permit timelines. Kitchen-only renovations take 8–12 weeks; basement finishing runs 10–16 weeks. We provide a firm schedule before construction begins and hold to it.
Bathurst Manor's 1950s and 1960s bungalows commonly present knob-and-tube wiring that must be replaced before walls are closed, undersized electrical panels, cast-iron drain stacks, and shallow foundation footings that require assessment before any load-bearing additions. Kopman Build has renovated dozens of postwar bungalows across North York and identifies these conditions early in the pre-construction phase.
Yes. Bathurst Manor has a long-established Jewish community and a high proportion of multi-generational ownership, meaning renovation projects here often involve sensitive timing, in-law suite planning, and phased scopes that keep the family in the home during construction. Kopman Build has deep experience in exactly this kind of project and approaches each one with discretion and careful scheduling.
